I was trying to point out that there is support for both views, that feral populations tend to be the same as commercial stock, and that they can also be distinct, depending on which markers you are using to identify the different populations. If we are talking about taxonomy, these things are never settled. But beyond that, given a data set like a genome, with billions of data points, it's quite easy to imagine different investigators coming to different conclusions. And, it isn't that one is right and the other is wrong. It's all part of the whole picture.
